During the post-op purée phase, what the heck did you eat? I've seen people mention baby food which the thought of makes me [emoji13] I would love a list of purée options that I can make and freeze ahead of time.

@@Laughkc11 I ate strained soups. I didn't like broth or bouillon cubes.

I used my blender alot and had smoothies.

SF hello and SF popsicles made me

oops.....

SF Jello and SF popsicles made me wretch. still can't stomach the aftertaste.

--Eggface Ricotta Bake (Google for recipe)

--refried beans with a little cheese melted on top

--poached or scrambled egg (if permitted on your plan)

I made little mini-casseroles, but without the carby junk in them. Basically, take meat & a flavorful sauce & puree. Put in a tiny ramekin, add a little shredded cheese if you want, and heat in the microwave. Some of the combos I tried and liked:

--chicken breast with marinara sauce & mozzarella cheese

--ground bison with low carb bbq sauce & cheddar cheese

--salmon with lemon dill sauce

--turkey with peanut satay sauce and jack cheese

--ranch flavor tuna with nonfat ranch dressing & swiss cheese

You get the idea. I used a lot of the little packets of tuna, chicken, and turkey and small cans of meat.

My favorite was refried beans with a little taco seasoning and some rotel cheese dip. I ate that the whole time.

So I've searching for some purée ideas on Pinterest and some of these sound good... Or maybe it's just me

One egg scrambled with 1 tablespoon Parmesan and whisked into a cup of simmering chicken broth

1/2 cup ricotta cheese blended with Smucker’s sugar free Apricot Preserves

Inspire Dutch chocolate Cake Protein powder blended with 1 teaspoon Smucker’s Sugar Free strawberry Preserves, Water, and ice

1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese blended with no sugar applesauce and cinnamon

1/2 cup plain yogurt blended with 2 teaspoons Inspire Peanut Butter Cookie whey Protein Isolate Drink mix powder

You could also try canned tuna / salmon / or chicken with some light mayo. I'm looking forward to giving that a try today.

boil some cauliflower in some salty Water until it is tender. Then puree it with a wedge of laughing cow cheese

a baked sweet potato is also yummy.

ricotta cheese with some tomato sauce and some mozzarella heated up until the cheese is melty

mash up an avocado with a hard boiled egg and a pinch of salt

Strained or blended soups, cheeses, refried Beans (taco bell pintos and cheese was a NUT approved staple), guacamole, hummus, yogurt, ricotta cheese (part skim) with tomato sauce. I also ate avocado with hard boiled eggs and occasionally mashed potatoes or mushed sweet potatoes. It took me a bit to tolerate tuna fish and scrambled eggs. They were too textured for me.

Chicken broth puréed with sautéed yellow squash was divine. Yum yum. If you don't care for yellow squash then go for the soft veggie of your choice cooked well. I would stay away from broccoli or asparagus (even if puréed for the first few weeks).

And yes baby food is disgusting.
